Definitions
- a method comprises defining at least one transmit/receive pattern, wherein the at least one transmit pattern comprises at least one uplink subframe eligible for uplink transmission by at least one half-duplex capable device and at least one downlink subframe eligible for transmission to the at least one half-duplex capable device, wherein the first subframe of the at least one uplink subframe and the first subframe of the at least one downlink subframe are separated by a predefined timing offset.
- the method further comprises applying the transmit/receive pattern to at least one half-duplex capable device and scheduling at least one of transmission and receiving by the at least one half-duplex device based on the transmit/receive pattern.
- a method comprises configuring a message for transmission to a base station identifying a device as capable of only half- duplex frequency division duplex operation and receiving at least one downlink subframe eligible to be received by the device, wherein the at least one downlink subframe belongs to a transmit/receive pattern comprising the at least one downlink subframe and at least one uplink subframe, wherein the first subframe of the at least one downlink subframe is separated from the first subframe of the at least one uplink subframe by a predetermined timing offset.
- a computer readable medium stores a program of instructions. Execution of the program of instructions by a processor configures an apparatus to at least configure a message for transmission to a base station identifying a device as capable of only half-duplex frequency division duplex operation and receive at least one downlink subframe eligible to be received by the device, wherein the at least one downlink subframe belongs to a transmit/receive pattern comprising the at least one downlink subframe and at least one uplink subframe, wherein the first subframe of the at least one downlink subframe is separated from the first subframe of the at least one uplink subframe by a predetermined timing offset.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a cellular network and multiple user devices according to one or more embodiments of the invention
- Fig. 2 illustrates exemplary communication traffic patterns according to an embodiment of the present invention
- Fig. 1 illustrates a system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the system 100 comprises a base station, which may suitably be implemented as an eNB 102, communicating with a core network 104 and supporting a number of user devices, also know as user equipments (UEs) 106A-106F, of which UEs 106A-106C are designed to operate in full-duplex mode and UEs 106D-106F are designed to be capable of operating only in half-duplex FDD mode.
- UEs user equipments
- Fig. 2 illustrates exemplary half-duplex FDD traffic patterns 202A-202F that may be configured and used according to one or more embodiments of the present invention.
- Different UEs may be associated with different patterns, and various exemplary patterns illustrated here may allow uplink or downlink transmission during only one subframe, separated by three subframes from another transmission-eligible subframe, as in patterns 202E-202F, during two adjacent subframes, with groups being separated from one another by two subframes, as in patterns 202C-202D, or during four adjacent subframes, as in patterns 202A-202B.
- a traffic pattern may be applied to a UE as needed depending on overall demands of UEs needing service from the eNB 102. Blank subframes in these patterns represent periods of discontinuous transmission or reception (DTx/DRx) when the UE assigned that pattern will not be sending or receiving data or acknowledgements.
- DTx/DRx discontinuous transmission or reception
- the eNB 102 uses the transmit pattern configured for a UE to perform eligibility checks to determine if the UE is eligible to transmit or receive in a particular subframe.
- Uplink feedback such as CQI, PMI, Rl, or SR can only be configured on transmit (Tx) eligible subframes.
- Tx transmit
- additional eligibility checks are needed. This is true because the UE requires a switching time between transmit and receive and therefore usually cannot support consecutive subframes in a different direction. A few exceptions can be made.
- the eNB 102 performs load balancing between UEs, based, for example, on expected UE traffic, eNB utilization, network congestion, system information reception, and other relevant factors. As a starting point, the eNB 102 may, for example, assign to a UE a minimum number of subframes, and change this number based on UE traffic requirements.
- UE 106D usable DL subframes:
- k is the number of Rx subframes and C, is counter i - for example, CO.
- the eNB 102 may also determine that certain subframes are preferred for assignment to half-duplex devices based on expected radio conditions of those subframes. For example, subframes experiencing high-interference, poor signal quality, or low spectral efficiency capability may be designated as preferred subframes for half- duplex devices. This is because half-duplex devices generally are not considered premium devices nor used for premium services and therefore can tolerate lower performance. Thus, they there can be assigned subframes with lower quality. For example, the eNB 102 may measure uplink interference over thermal noise (loT) level of the system, and if the loT level is above a certain threshold on specific periodic subframes, then those subframes can be first assigned to half duplex devices.
- LoT uplink interference over thermal noise
- the eNB 102 determines that particular downlink subframes can support lower data rates, for example, due to periodic interference from nearby eNBs as part of intercell interference coordination or due to heterogeneous network deployment, then these subframes can be first assigned to half duplex devices. Such determination can involve comparing a performance metric such as interference level, signal to noise ratio, or channel quality feedback to a threshold level.
- a performance metric such as interference level, signal to noise ratio, or channel quality feedback to a threshold level.
- the network 100 can adapt the pattern for the UE based on parameters that may include user uplink and downlink traffic, overall system traffic load, and other performance metrics for UEs such as the UEs 106A- 106F.
- One such performance metric may be latency.
- Some downlink subframes, such as the physical broadcast channel, must be able to be read by UEs receiving them.
- a scheduling gap can be created for the UEs 106A-106F. Configuring the pattern to include a gap will be performed by the eNB 102 and will not require decisions by the UEs. The UEs will behave as directed by the eNB 102 and will not be required to make any decisions or take any actions based on the presence of the scheduling gap, beyond what is directed by the eNB 102.
- Load balancing may be achieved, for example, through proportional fair metric adjustments to minimize impact to full-duplex UEs, such as the UEs 106A-106C.
- the average throughput for a half-duplex UE may be adjusted based on the fraction of the subframes the UE is allowed to transmit.
- Quality of service class identifier (QCI) weighting may be adjusted to insure that low-cost MTC half-duplex devices do not preempt full-duplex devices.
- P f (k) is the proportional far metric of user k
- W QC i is the QCI weighting
- t ins tant is the instantaneous achievable throughput
- t avg is the average throughput
- ⁇ and ⁇ are parameters used to adjust fairness.
- An alternative approach to support half-duplex FDD is to assign each half-duplex UE a TDD UL/DL configuration as if it were a TDD UE.
- the half-duplex UE can follow TDD timing for control/data transmission and therefore there will be no potential scheduling conflicts.
- multiple UL/DL configurations must be simultaneously supported in order to efficiently utilize the FDD spectrum.
- Load balancing may be performed through Rx/Tx pattern adjustment, and such adjustment may be based on user traffic, system traffic load, and performance metrics of UEs. Pattern adjustment may also comprise the creation of scheduling gaps to allow reading of essential subframes, such as PBCH.
- the base station schedules UEs for communication using the patterns for half duplex communication and the load balancing.
- a eNB such as the UE 102
- a wireless link 404 with an apparatus, such as a mobile device/terminal such as the UE 106D. While there are typically a number UEs under control of an eNB such as the eNB 102, for simplicity only the UE 106D is shown at Figure 4.
- the eNB 102 may be the base station 102 of Fig. 1 and the UE 106D may be one of the user devices 106A-106D of Fig.
- the UE 106D includes processing means such as at least one data processor
- DP storing means such as at least one computer-readable memory (MEM) 408 storing data 410, at least one computer program (PROG) 41 1 or other set of executable instructions, communicating means such as a transmitter TX 412 and a receiver RX 414 for bidirectional wireless communications with the eNB 402 via one or more antennas 416.
- MEM computer-readable memory
- PROG computer program
- the eNB 102 also includes processing means such as at least one data processor
- the eNB 102 may also include communicating means such as a transmitter TX 428 and a receiver RX 430 for bidirectional wireless communications with the UE 405 (or UEs) via one or more antennas 432.
- communicating means such as a transmitter TX 428 and a receiver RX 430 for bidirectional wireless communications with the UE 405 (or UEs) via one or more antennas 432.
- the data 424 may be stored a repository 434 of half-duplex pattern associations
- the PROGs 426 may be a pattern configuration module 436, performing functions such as processing information received from UEs, other network elements, and other information sources, configuring transmit/receive patterns, and creating pattern associations.
- Various embodiments of the computer readable MEMs 408 and 422 include any data storage technology type which is suitable to the local technical environment, including but not limited to semiconductor based memory devices, magnetic memory devices and systems, optical memory devices and systems, fixed memory, removable memory, disc memory, flash memory, DRAM, SRAM, EEPROM and the like.
- Various embodiments of the DPs 406 and 420 include but are not limited to general purpose computers, special purpose computers, microprocessors, digital signal processors (DSPs) and multi-core processors. While various exemplary embodiments have been described above it should be appreciated that the practice of the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown and discussed here.
